	I would like to thank everybody that replied. I have now read
	a good deal of documentation on generating the bootable CD,
	but I still have some questions:

	1 - After I create a blessed directory (with the -hfs-bless
	    option of mkisofs) containing yaboot, yaboot.conf, vmlinux
	    and a ramdisk suitable, how will OpenFirmware know that
	    upon pressing "c" it will have to load yaboot? Is it
	    because the pair type/creator of yaboot is boot/UNIX?

	2 - is the ofboot.b file necessary for booting?


	Thanks for all help so far, Roger...
